At this year’s prestigious Broadcast Awards, MediaCityUK-based dock10 was announced as the Best Post Production House 2020
The Broadcast Awards highlighted that it has been a busy year for dock10, “posting many of the best-known shows on UK television while undergoing an extensive expansion and playing a key role in transitioning Match Of The Day into an industry-leading virtual-reality studio environment.” They noted how dock10 has grown its team by 10% and have emphasised “promoting internally through staff development.” The award also credited partnerships with the University of Salford and three local colleges to offer work placements and entry roles for those wanting to build a career in post-production.
